Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for detecting defects in blow moldings.
- blow molding a tube of hot, moldable plastic is first made (continuous or discontinuous), e.g. by means of an extrusion process. Subsequently, a mandrel enters the hose from above or below. The two-part blow molding tool, which was still open at this point, then travels to and encloses the hot, malleable hose together with the mandrel.
- plastics in particular polyolefins, such as. Polyethylene or polypropylene, used. Alternatively, however, PMMA, polycarbonate or polyamide are also processed, for example.
- the thickness of the plastic in the finished blow molded part can be controlled.
- the thickness of the plastic in the finished blow molded part can be controlled.
- For the purpose of saving material and weight is often the effort to make the wall thickness of the blow molded as thin as possible.
- faulty blow molded parts with defects - in particular holes - in the blow molding wall must be identified by means of a manual inspection by an operator and be discharged from the manufacturing process.
- the required visual inspection of the blow moldings required for this purpose is relatively expensive and thus causes high labor costs.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for the detection of defects in blow moldings, which can be carried out automatically and therefore is inexpensive. According to the invention the object is achieved by a method for the detection of defects, in particular holes, in blow moldings
- the amount of leakage air is traced to the presence of defects in the blow molded part.
- the leakage air caused by the imperfections which emerges from the blow molding tool is measured in the blow molding tool.
- at least one, preferably a plurality of openings is provided in the blow mold, through which the leakage air flows.
- the opening can, for example, as
- the openings are connected together to one of the respective mold half associated manifold.
- the amount of leakage air removed by the manifold per tool half is proportional to the number and size of the defects in the corresponding Blasformteilhchen. If no leakage volume flow is detected, the defect detection method according to the invention accordingly provides the statement that no defects are present. Using empirical values determined on the basis of faulty blow molded parts, a correlation between the measured leakage air flow and the extent of the defects can be created and stored, for example, digitally.
- the term "small hole” can be displayed on a display of the blow molding machine, as long as a low leakage air flow is measured or, accordingly, the "large hole” indicator lights up, as long as a large amount of leakage air is detected. Since both halves of the tool have a separate manifold, the error message can be displayed separately for the top and bottom of the blow molding tool.
- the measurement of a leakage air quantity is carried out separately for each opening, so that a statement can be made for each opening of a defect which may be present at this location.
- the measurement of the amount of leakage air during the cooling time of the blow molded part ie after the shaping thereof. This is particularly useful because the air located between the mold wall and hose during inflation of the tube is also withdrawn through the respective openings and this withdrawn air is of course not in correlation with any defect in the blow molding.
- the measurement of the amount of paint spray air via a volume flow or differential pressure measurement is e.g. the measurement by means of an ultrasonic flow sensor, a magnetic inductive flow sensor, a vortex flow meter, a throttle device or a flow measuring probe.
- the invention also provides an apparatus for carrying out a method according to claim 8.
- the blow molding machine 1 shown in the figure comprises a thermoplastic molded article 2 - e.g. a fluid guide element for an automobile - equipped tool 3, which is divided into two mold halves 4, 4 '. On both sides of the tool halves 4, 4 'is followed in each case by a collecting plate 5, 5'. Other components of the device shown in the figure are the / each tool half 4, 4 'respectively provided substructure 6, 6' / machine plate 7, 7 '.
- both tool halves 4, 4 'each have at different, spaced-apart locations of the blow molding 2 openings 8 in the form of slot nozzles (see enlarged view). These openings 8 are each connected in common to one of the respective mold half 4, 4 'associated manifold 9, 9'.
- the manifolds 9, 9 ' are each formed as a longitudinal groove of the respective collection plate 5, 5'.
- the amount of leakage air 10, 10 ' is established due to the present blow mold overpressure, which is introduced into the blow molding by introducing air 11 through a blowing mandrel 12 of the blow molding machine 1.
- the measurement of the amount of leakage air 10, 10 ' takes place during the cooling time of the blow molded part 2, ie after its shaping.
- the measurement of the amount of leakage air 10, 10 ' is done by detecting a differential pressure, which is converted into a voltage as the output value of the respective measuring device 13, 13', or alternatively via a direct volume flow measurement.
